lyrics

The best kids in the world, in twisted brick and asphalt, were praying for snow. Permanent hopscotch marks and miles between each monkey bar, I was coloring wrong. They let me know before too long. He’d be up for first shift, dressing in the dark. She’d be in her housecoat, staring across the yards. I wanted closer constellations but it was early for such expectations. Remind me again how lucky I am. With my three Top 40s and a tape recorder, stuffing my pillow with a cheap transistor. Echoing up though the courtyard, in my desk it gripped me so hard. I’m colored in and kept awake, longing for firework nights and spaceship days. Flying over the town, the smell of burning leaves as the grid of streets unfolds beneath. Every house spills light onto muted green, the dullest lawns I’ve ever seen as my Walkman screams. And every saccharine chorus is broadcasting a promise: you will change and you will leave.
